It was twilight at Laird's Landing, a barren, lonely ranch 20 miles from the nearest town, when bald eagles began swooping over the tundra to perch in a leafless clump of cottonwoods.Before the full moon inched over a treeless ridge in the distance, more than 40 of the regal raptors had arrived for their nightly roost. Sometimes, the trees hold 130 or more."How can you not love this?" said retired Mare Island rigger and eagle aficionado Charlotte Ann Kisling, as the temperature dropped below 20. "It's so peaceful, and so awesome. I don't care about TV or movies - this is what I want to see."

“Siskiyou” and “Tundra” in the same article prove the rank stupidity of the author.
I was at Klamath Wildlife Refuge a few weeks ago, and I sure wish I had my .223 for the coyotes. Lots of big furry ones.

We used to see eagles right on the Wading River. Eagles live in NJ too.

Bald eagles are steadily increasing in NH. You don’t have to go to the wilderness to see them. I saw one flying over the Merrimack River in the city of Nashua several years ago. They like living near airports, too. There’s been a pair near the Manchester Airport for years. I’ve also seen them in Maine, near the coast.

Here’s the killer sentence in the article:
“”The eagle population here has done very well,” he said. “There may be even more now than there were 100 years ago.”
Know why? The Klamath Lake....the same one the enviros want to be gone. In 2001, when the water was shut off, the eagles were dying all over the place. But these nuts still want to cut off any water to that farmland where the eagles, etc. migrate to and feed.
Stupid envirofreaks.
